Speculative application

Sometimes the best job is the one that has not been advertised yet.

"Even when we have no vacancy matching your profile, we remain interested in motivated people." That is not a stock phrase here — a good share of our hires begin exactly this way.

What we always look at

These are the profiles we read particularly closely.

A speculative application is not a lottery ticket. If you come from one of these areas, it is almost always worth the effort for both of us.

Surgical instrument making & precision engineering

Assembly, adjustment, prototype work. Neighbouring trades count too — toolmaking, watchmaking, precision mechanics.

CNC machining

Turners, millers, setters. Experience with small batch sizes and tight tolerances is not a drawback here — it is the norm.

Quality & regulatory affairs

QM, validation, documentation, audit preparation — everything around DIN EN ISO 13485 and our customers' requirements.

Design & development

CAD, design for manufacturing, turning a customer's idea into an instrument that can actually be made.

Commercial roles

Order processing, purchasing, production planning — the interface between the customer and the shop floor.

Career changers

Good with your hands, careful, willing to learn? In production and surface finishing you can start without any industry background.

What to include

Three things are enough — and one of them is optional.

1. Your CV. 2. Certificates, if you have them. 3. Two or three sentences about what you would like to do here — that helps us more than a page of standard covering letter.

If you like, tell us when you could start and whether we may call you during the day.
